The first byte of the UTF-8 encoding of the horizontal line drawing character (0x2500) looks like a lower-case 'A' with circumflex if it's mistakenly being treated as iso-8859-1 or -15, so I'd say that mutt "thinks" it's in a UTF-8 terminal, but it really isn't. The xterm docs suggest that you either need to start xterm with its LANG set for a UTF-8 locale, or with the -u8 flag, to get it to interpret incoming text as UTF-8. Failing that, running echo '^[%G' (where ^[ is the escape key, hit Ctrl-V,Escape to enter it) should switch xterm into UTF-8 mode.
